Silverbow Promotions Virtual Book Club



Welcome to Silverbow Promotions Virtual Book Club! 

The first Tuesday of every month we’re going to highlight one author, one book. All participants will read the featured book during that month. And at the next meeting, we’ll discuss what we loved (or maybe didn’t love) about it. 

There will be games, giveaways, “get to know you’s” with the authors, teasers for upcoming books, and more! 

Can’t afford the book we’re reading that month? No worries! For those who wish to participate but are unable to purchase the books, the authors will be providing e-copies. However, if you are given a free copy, we ask that you please leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads.

We also encourage those who are purchasing the books to please leave your review on Amazon and Goodreads as well. 

These events are not only to help the authors gain new readers and more reviews but to help readers find their new favorite books!

Have questions? Comments? Are you an author wishing to participate? Send Silverbow Promotions a message.

January's Featured Book & Author: In Her Eyes by Cadence Rae. RSVP HERE

My reviews are NEVER fake.

Recently, there have been many conversations about authors paying bloggers to review their book. . . and give it a good review.  And I just feel I need to say this;  No one can pay me to post a false review.  I cannot be bribed, tricked or forced to do it.

Let me tell you right now, my entire life goal, - if nothing else- is to help Authors! Indie, Traditional, un-published entirely!  It doesn't matter.  So, if I give a book a five star review, it is because in my eyes and by my measurements, it deserved five stars.

If I give a book three stars, it is because I believe it deserved three stars.  Not because it is a bad book, in fact by my measurements, that is quite good.

Why do you rarely see bad reviews on this blog?  Because MY LIFE GOAL IS TO HELP AUTHORS.  So if an author asks me to review their book, and I read the book and don't like it, I tell the author first and let them decide whether or not I post the review.

This is not because I only want the best of the best on my blog.  It is because I do not want my personal opinion of a book to affect the sales.  Just because I hate a book, doesn't make it a bad book.    And just because I like a book, doesn't make it a good book.  It just means that I personally did or did not like it, enjoy it, or find it enjoyable for whatever reason.

For instance, I personally did not LOVE Divergent.  Yes, it was a good read, Yes I finished it, Yes I will read the second book.  NO, I wouldn't give it five stars.  It just isn't my favorite thing.

I LOVE Once Upon A Marigold and yet, I have only ever met ONE person who knew what book I was talking about when I mentioned it.  Would I give it five stars? Absolutely.  In fact, I will post my review of it and Divergent on the blog within the next couple weeks!

So YES, most of the reviews posted on my blog rank high.  NO, none of the reviews are fake.
